• MAPAL offers complete machining solutions for the die and mould industry.

Getting started in the die & mould sector

Die and mould makers expect high process and product expertise from their cutting tools manufacturer. This is because the tool life of the moulds to be created and the precision of the moulded parts are extremely important for competitiveness in mass production. Therefore, they require their tools to offer the highest levels of precision, a long tool life, and – above all – process reliability.
 

It is precisely these aspects that make MAPAL successful in sectors such as the automotive industry, machine engineering and the aerospace industry. Now the precision tool manufacturer is also offering efficient and economical solutions for the complete machining process in the die & mould sector. Versatile and precise high-performance tools and special tool holders with narrow contours and a precise radial run-out minimise polishing effort and reworking thanks to a constant surface finish in the milling process.

Components and workpiece material

From the unmachined to the finished part

Find the right tool with just a few clicks: Depending on the machining, the specific operation and the tool requirement, you can quickly find the tool you want.
  • On a rendered example component, an operation is highlighted.
    1 / 8

    2D surfaces

    On the one hand, this category includes machining processes carried out directly on the machine, such as face milling, milling of pockets and straight walls. On the other hand, it also includes operations for complex geometries that are programmed using CAM software.

    3D surfaces

    In the die & mould sector, the manufacture of increasingly complex forms is part of everyday life. Continuous further developments in machine tools and CAM software raise performance and productivity to an ever higher level. The tools used must therefore always be state-of-the-art. To achieve optimum results, each design starts with a process analysis.

    Open pockets

    Mould inserts also have machining tasks that are required for casting or various attachment parts. Users are increasingly machining open pockets (circumferential machining) using trochoidal milling. This machining method helps to optimise machining times and to extend tool life.

    封闭型腔

    封闭型腔通常通过在Z平面上进行粗加工来产生。铣削时，通常选择通过斜坡开始加工。刀具的选择取决于墙壁的深度和要在组件上创建的起模斜度。具有模块化系统的MAPAL公司的广泛产品组合还包括大直径深型腔的加工。

    薄壁和板翅

    塑料注塑模具和压铸模具通常具有板翅和薄壁。例如，板翅越来越多地被铣削，因为这种加工方法与 EDM 加工方法（放电加工）相较便宜。通常使用小直径的长型或超长型硬质合金刀具。在此也可以提供适合相应板翅形状的定制解决方案（RibCutter）。
